Episode 2 - Vince Boston and the murders
Vince tells us how his father, Silas Duane Boston murdered two British tourists in 1978 in Guatemala. The bodies of Chris Farmer and Peta Frampton were found hogtied in the sea.
In 1978 the bodies of a young male and female couple were found hogtied and drowned off Guatemala鈥檚 Caribbean coast. Nine months later they were identified as British graduates Peta Frampton and Chris Farmer.
Police in Manchester quickly focused in on an American called Silas Duane Boston who had offered to sail Chris and Peta from Belize to Costa Rica on board his boat, the Justin B.
Boston鈥檚 boat never reached Costa Rica and he fled back to California with his two young sons soon after the murders. So why did it take 38 years to arrest him 鈥� and how could he maintain his innocence when both his boys were telling the FBI they saw him do it?
In this programme, featuring extended interviews taken from the original podcast series, we hear from one of those sons 鈥� Vince about what happened on the boat.
